DisclaimerThere is a front and back to this baseplate. if you 3d print the true X version, there is a small circle near the mounting hole on the side that is supposed to be the front, on the stretched x version, its a small triangle. If you're cutting the True x version in carbon, you should be able to eyeball it and tell the difference, if not, measure it. With that said, the "braces" are only meant to be in the front and back and not on the sides or the quad will be uneven. I made it this was with the intent to get the perspective of the camera over the CG as much as possible while still having space for other peripherals in the pod. ALSO: The stretched x baseplate only fits up to 2" props....or you can clip the ends off of an 2.5" prop with nail clippers (works surprisingly well). The print settings listed are for the pod, if you print a baseplate, I recommend 90-100% infill using PLA or PETG, no supports.

This pod is a remix of the classic Tanky Toothrip 110mm pod by T4bee. I thought it would be fun to pay homage to the designer who first made a whole "eco-system" for his frame design that I think the Toothpick was inspired by. The OG pod was 30x30 with 3mm holes, I left the holes 3mm so there is some wiggle room if you want to try to tilt it forward a bit, but I shrunk the hole spacing to fit the 25.5mm spacing of the whoop boards. The thought behind this is that we now have micro electronics that have enough power to be able to make a high cam tilt micro. Flying at 65+ degrees is a whole different experience and once you dial in your rates and tune, it's really fun!

*tuning tips: lower your D gain on P and R and slow your yaw rate by quite a bit. Yaw and Roll basically swap at this cam angle so beware!

*Update 8/18/19: I've added .stl and .dxf files for the baseplate in true x-ish configuration. There is also an .stl for the stretch x configuration. I updated the stretch x design for added durability and actually haven't printed nor flown the updated version yet. Enjoy!

*Update 9/8/19 I managed to snap the front stabilizer bar by smacking a pole head on, the rigidity of the frame hasn't been changed at all. I got a Runcam Split nano and put it in this build so I've updated the pod. "FULLTILTPOD2tall" is the a new version of the pod with variable camera tilt options and spacers added to the design to make room for the split board, "FULLTILTPOD2" is the same thing but without the spacers. I removed the rear screw mount hole too because I don't use it and now there's access to the USB port (if you build with the FC upside down). Ive tried to add video to the this page but it doesn't like my dvr videos. I think I'll have to post something to youtube and then add it.
